I took my kids to SFMOMA today for the first time, and they each had a line I feel compelled to share.
Sam (6), on Lesende by Gerhard Richter: “I’m just blinking ‘cuz I’m so amazed.”
Susannah (9), on A Leaky Ride for Dr. Leakey: “That’s what my imagination looks like.”

Well, CV, I was at MOMA Friday, and I saw your kids today, and your kids are the thing that made me “blink ‘cuz I’m so amazed.”
‘Course, they are not as loud as the music at a MOMA reception (I know you don’t believe me but trust me). But otherwise, S. and S. are much more amazin’. -
Took my kids to MOMA. Amazed at how many security guards there have identical Moe haricuts. The kids had a hard time telling (some of) the art from the trash. Plus they’re used to interactive museums. You want to see a bunch of Moes go ballistic, watch them try to protect a red plastic square from being licked.
Some is amazing. Some should be taken to the Reuse Depot for kids to turn it into real art.
